Should I try contacting an old friend?

Basically I fell out with my old best friend on and off over a 6 month period- I last heard from them nearly 8 months ago and I never bothered texting them back because I was fed up with how the friend treated me. I didn’t want to hear from them or text them for a good 5 months but recently I feel like reaching out again- my parents say that would be a bad idea, but I was so close with that friend- we went to school and uni together.

The friend is rather petty and I doubt they would say much back to me, is it worth trying to talk again or should I let the friend go entirely now?
Best to leave the friendship in the past and have no contact with that person.

You know that the person is of a petty personality and got fed up of the unpleasant way that they treated you over 6 months.
Your common sense, gut instincts and your parents are all letting you know that the person is unlikely to have much friendly feeling towards you or anything positive to say to you.
